Q: There was a question on ‘nice’ sligs. Well, if ‘A grub here or there manages to slip through the “system”,’ who would care for it? Sligs are born without legs yes? If growning up from grubs (?) and walking with their hands, would they develop arms like the Glukkons? (Keeping in mind the ‘pants-spoiled’ Sligs drag themselves—they didn't grow up developing ‘their’ arms)

Alf: Like many wild animals, Slig grubs are born into the world fully equipped to survive on their own. They only need caregivers for political indoctrination, and while mechanical pants are nice, Sligs have survived for generations without them.
